Why don't I receive AMBER alerts when they're turned on??

[iMore Question]

I don't receive AMBER alerts even though they are on.

I don't receive the either.

Maybe the alerts aren't being issued in your area. I'd check with apple Tech Support though.

Since it's inception, I just received my first Amber Alert last week. So that's 1 alert in almost 2 years.

Depends on where you are... and who your service provider is... and what agency is issuing the Alert... not all law enforcement agencies have the ability to send messages through the system that sends the alerts... not all cellular providers are able to send them in some areas on their networks.
